A method and device for reducing muscle tension through electrical manipulation applies a low level current to muscles of a user. Each muscle has two electrodes applied thereto, one for passing the current from the device to the muscle, and the other for receiving the current from the muscle to complete the circuit. The device has several channels, one for each pair of electrodes, and current is passed through a muscle at a level below the threshold required to cause the muscle to contract. The device is programmed to automatically apply an alternating current at predetermined frequencies for predetermined time periods to each muscle of the user that is being treated. A method of diagnosing an ailment using the device is provided.
A method of relaxing muscle tension through electrical manipulation by applying a low level alternating current to muscles of a user using a device having a power source and a controller to control a voltage and frequency of said alternating current applied to at least one muscle for a given period of time, with a plurality of electrodes, said device being programmed with at least one program, said method comprising connecting said device to said power source, connecting two of said plurality of electrodes to each muscle of said at least one muscle, activating said program for said device to apply to said at least one muscle of said user a low level alternating current at a series of predetermined frequencies in succession for predetermined times for each frequency at a predetermined intensity of current for each frequency, applying two electrodes of said plurality of electrodes to each muscle of said at least one muscle, activating said device to carry out said program by passing said current through each muscle of said at least one muscle from one of said two electrodes of each muscle to the other of said two electrodes of each muscle, deactivating said device and removing said electrodes upon completion of said program.
A method of diagnosing ailments through electrical manipulation by applying a low level alternating current to muscles of a user using a device having a power source and a controller to control a voltage and frequency of said alternating current applied to at least one muscle for a given period of time, with a plurality of electrodes, the device being programmed, said method comprising connecting said device to said power source, connecting two electrodes of said plurality of electrodes to each muscle of said at least one muscle, activating said program for said device to apply to said at least one muscle a low level alternating current at a first frequency for a pre-determined time, using said controller to vary an intensity of said low level current to each muscle of said at least on muscle to a level of intensity that is slightly lower than a level required to cause said at least one muscle to contract or twitch and determining a voltage of said device at said level of intensity of said current for each muscle of said at least one muscle, using said voltage to diagnose the ailment of the user by comparing the voltage to a range of voltages for normal muscles and determining whether said voltage is higher or lower than said range.
